Compare the documents first
Label each proposal and keep the same project brief beside it. Ask what is included rather than guessing from a heading such as finished basement. A yes or no checklist is a starting point; ambiguous inclusions need a written clarification. Do not assume the lower price covers equivalent preparation, material quality or project responsibility.
Use differences as questions
The tool highlights categories you mark differently and shows the difference between your entered totals. It does not rank contractors or score trustworthiness. Use the output to ask about exclusions, allowances, selections, changes, authority coordination and who will supervise the work. Verify references and qualifications independently.
What the output means
No recommendation is made from price alone. Unknown scope remains unknown until clarified in writing.
Your next steps
- Use one project brief for both proposals.
- Mark unknown rather than assume inclusion.
- Clarify allowance values.
- Compare supervision and change terms.
